They literally have a light and siren that they trigger if you grunt, or slam the weights, or "judge." (How they define that one, I'll never know.) I'll try to find a youtube link for you. Edit: Ah, here we are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=951ddf3G88g

I could never work out there. I lift heavy weights when I work out, and I grunt a little. (I don't scream like a maniac or anything). They'll set off their "Lunk Alarm" and kick you out if you do that.

Getting divorced. I won't go so far as to say I got divorced because I was fat; we had some very serious long-term life goal issues (and she had some, umm, "faithfulness issues,") but when you're in the kind of poor physical shape I was in (and still am) you just don't have the energy to put into resolving relationship…

Thin crusts are going to be pretty similar across the board so you're probably making a pretty reasonable estimate.

It's not the end of the world if you don't eat them *all* back, but try to at least eat some. I like to leave a hundred or so just in case MFP is overestimating what I've burned (honestly, for my weightlifting I think it underestimates a little, but I'm not gonna fuss).

Not so sure about that. Since focusing on eating more protein I've found I get backed up more; uncomfortably so sometimes. Another poster mentioned taking psyllium husk fiber (metamucil, basically) and it works wonders.

Seanian. That's who I was addressing my comments to. I really wish this site would show who said what when you quote. Long quote chains like this get messy and confusing.

"Wasting my time and theirs" sounds an awful lot like a judgment to me. You don't know what kind of program they're on, what their fitness level is, etc. You've made your point; it annoys you. We're just saying that it shouldn't. Your argument is like me saying that because you don't leg press as much as me, for example,…

We're going to need photographic proof of all these size statements, ladies. :devil: Seriously, they will probably shrink (breast tissue is partly fat cells, isn't it?) But it should be fairly proportional to the rest of your body.

Working from home is not all it's cracked up to be. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/working_home Edit: Nevermind, the image doesn't fit. :( You'll have to go to the page.

I started on the site just after the New Year and I've already had one or two friends quit. Guess it's the whole "falling off the bandwagon" thing.

$38 a month for an LA Fitness that is within walking distance of my apartment. Or will be, once I get in better shape and can walk a mile and a half uphill without getting winded. I don't remember what I paid for initiation, something in the neighborhood of $50. No contract, it's month to month. Pool, sauna, hot tub, nice…

Boxer briefs for working out, and a wide variety of undergarments otherwise. I'm unpredictable

Sometimes when I'm doing leg extensions my shorts feel kind of tight around the front of my leg. I should probably just do that exercise without any pants on so I can perform the exercise more smoothly. I mean, everyone else using the machine wears pants so it's totally not a problem, right? :glasses:

Plus I find whole eggs are more versatile. I can boil a couple eggs, chop them up, and serve them on top of a salad for extra protein, for example. Can't do that with the egg whites from a carton.

I eat whole eggs because they're much cheaper than the egg whites and egg substitutes in the carton. Gotta watch my pennies. Besides, I like the yolks more than the whites. Now, if they ever came out with egg yolks in a carton, without the whites, I might buy that. lol

Yeah pretty much. Most of the cost of the expensive machines are for the onboard computers and such.

"For a Few Dollars More" I kid, I kid. A more accurate one would be "Alone in the Dark"

It's a marathon, not a sprint. We all have good weeks and bad weeks. Just keep pushing yourself and you'll get there.

I'm from MN but not really an Idol fan.

When I found out my ex was cheating I sent her a text that said "I know all about _____ (guy's name.)" Does that count?

My mom was 30 when she had me and I'm awesome. So don't worry about it.

I don't have any but I want the one on the right. http://xkcd.com/946/

Except when they don't have a seat belt extender on the plane and they have to go get one off a plane at another gate. Happened to me once and held the flight up for about 5 minutes. Of course, they didn't announce it or anything, but still... As for fitting in the seats, if you're sitting next to a stranger the general…

Act like you didn't hear her but saw her pointing. "I noticed you pointing at me, do you need my machine? You can have it, you obviously need the exercise more than I do." Edit: Before you do this, make sure she was actually pointing at you and calling you a bad name. Once, I was leg pressing and listening to my music.…

It doesn't for me. I don't have much of a sweet tooth. I can't remember the last time I had chocolate, doughnuts, or a piece of cake, and I drink quite a bit of diet soda each day. I drink it for the caffeine and the carbonation. Not because it tastes sweet. So there goes that theory.

Right. But let's say, for the sake of argument, that I have a lot of fat to lose (which, as it turns out, I do). If I'm eating at a deficit, my body is going to be burning that fat for basic metabolic functions, correct? Meanwhile, I'm tearing the hell out of my muscle fibers by lifting heavy, and I'm eating protein in…

I can solve all your problems with two little words: Las Vegas.

I've seen plenty of people who pig out on fast food after a workout because they think they can justify it. So by this logic, exercise = fat gain.

Ah. Carry on, then.
